The game Kabaddi is full of vibrancy and energy, requires wit as much as skill and muscle power. Kabaddi has been played in the fields of Bengal since times immemorial. It is not only a source of time pass but also a medium of social interaction. The objective of the game is to inter the opponent's territory with lungs full of breadth, touch as many opponents as possible and come back to home territory without loosing the breadth.
